Activities for GIMP - Here is a partial collection of activities I have used with students involving GIMP.
Editing Photos - Download this GIMP_edit.doc. Then Right click and download each picture. Students must use photo editing skills to make necessary fixes.
Picture Mock Up - One of my favorite activities allows students to create a mock picture of a fictional event. First, they practice using this lochness_word.doc and the pictures I have included below. Feel free to download these pictures of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Lake Michigan. Students will also need their own Loch Ness monster which I let them choose from a bag of various dinosaurs I purchased at a dollar store. (I downloaded a picture I shot so you can try the activity without spending a buck. The last shot is my final creation.) Using a digital camera students take a picture of their future Loch Ness Monster. When they are done they create their own pictures and then each one writes a paragraph to describe the picture. Give it a try. They are now ready to create their own mock up! Please feel free to share some creative GIMP ideas so they can be posted here for others to use.
Learn about GIMP and be sure to download it. Learn about its features and look over its user manual. Take a look at these commonly asked questions.
